2009

The FSF is planning its year-end membership drive, and we're
showcasing video from free
software supporters. We'd like you to record a short video for us,
making the case for joining the FSF. We're looking for a minimum of
20-50 seconds.

At its core, I think of free software as about the ability of computer
users to take control of their technology. Insofar as our software
defines our experience of the world and each other, software freedom is
an important part of what allows us to determine the way we live, work,
and communicate.

The people at the Free Software Foundation asked me to do a short pitch to support the Free Software Foundation, and I'm happy and honored to do that. Indeed here in my office at Harvard Law School you can see one of the posters I most proudly have up is the award I got, the Free Software Foundation's freedom award, which was an extraordinary honor that I received for ideas that I felt like I was just copying and spreading from Richard Stallman.
